I've seen some progressive blogs float around an electoral map of the states Mitt Romney would win vs. Obama, with Obama winning the election by about 100 electoral votes, and the degree that each state was contested.
Does anybody have any idea from polling on how Ron Paul performs against Obama in each of the states? Would anyone be able to put it together to give us an idea of how Ron Paul would perform in a general election against Obama, down to how many EVs each would get and which states would be the most contested?
It's one thing to say Ron Paul is electable, but it's another to actually show people the numbers. If we want to get rid of this media driven electability myth Romney has, and the unelectability myth Ron Paul's been given, we need to inspire some confidence using such numbers. Doing so could go a long way to taking the "we just want to beat Obama, we don't care who" crowd who seems to be flocking to Romney.
